Hello,
This is an issue we already reported to the support[1]. For your information, 
we were using jobacct_gather/cgroup when we encountered this problem.
The fix[2] is in the master branches for 25.05 and 25.11 and should be in the 
next minors (25.11.4 and 25.05.07).

Best,
Brice

Hello!

We also see this. But in both clusters one is configured with 
jobacct_gather/linux and the other with jobacct_gather/cgroup. Both cluster are 
in one setup (slurmdbd)

Best!

Hi,

We have noticed the same issue: when using 
JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux, the reported CPU usage is 0 for all 
steps. If the user only use sbatch without using any step (so no srun) then the 
value is correct.

jobacct_gather/cgroup reports correct values for CPU, but wrong values for 
memory so pick your poison (cf. 
https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/tlFA2e74wZc<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/tlFA2e74wZc__;!!JFdNOqOXpB6UZW0!ok8LKMSRG4sE93LpfSNd1WRkK4pdxnpOFVFE28ZxlMpj7PWNkZQYTjgd8tO_pK9bYmItPZ8Wwly7ud8NtPaK-t0QXFTfKDsWHBA$>
 ). If CPU usage is what matters to you, you should probably switch to 
jobacct_gather/cgroup if you don't use it already.

Hi
we have a slurm v25.05.2  setup.  we found any srun jobs are always shows 0 on 
UserCPU .    for sbatch jobs shoiws normal.    is this expected or it is a bug 
?  Thanks.
